of the total value of Italian exports of cosmetics to Malaysia, with brands like Prada, Versace
and Bvlgari.

Moreover, in 2016, imports of cosmetics from Malaysia reached EUR 1.6 million, with a

Through the COSMOPROF, Companies that produces Halal skincare will be able to target a new niche of the muslim communities throughout the world which is increasing.She also stated that Indonesia has future plan to ban non-Halal cosmetics to be sold in the stores giving a pathway for Malaysian companies to expand more abroad.
